EDITOR JOURNAL Permit me tu MAKE
use of small space in your worthy columns
this week | noticed in some of the county
papers of last week, that some of the citi-
zens along the Bellefonte 4 Lewistown
Turnpike are trying TO condemn that pike
and convert IL into n township road Would
this not ho wise act for the people through
Penns Valley who are using the old Fort,
Aaronsburg 4 Noungmanstown turnpike,
and who are paying tolls which are not IL
lone hurdensome, but eNtrlvagnnt. The
tolls that are paid 10y citizens OF this valley
alone are amply sufficient to put the pike
in much better condition than IL has been
kept in for number Of years. For the last
two years, and especially for this summer
the manager who has control ot said pike
between Aaronshurg aud Woodward has
scarcely expended So. Aud the people who
travel the road are obliged To pay the full
limit oftoll and drive a road that is In worse
condition than ANY township road. Ii the
citizens who pay toll, would eXpend that
money on the road themselves they would
have II much better road 10 travel. | would
be pleased To hear from some of my fellow
citizens through the columns of the Journal

-Musser Il Alexander have lately re-
ceived another carload of marble In the

business is increasing rapidly, which is
easily accounted for when one considers
the fact that Musser's reputation rs Il

but in many years of successful dealing

Mr.. Alexander, who acts as salesman
for the firm by his gentlemanly bear

Integrity, enterprise and satisfactory
work are bound TO win.
"A town clock is a great convenience
if IT may be relied upon for correct
ness of time, but when town clock is
continually wrong, either from 20 to 30
minutes ahead of time Or the reverse it

is the case with the Mlllheim clock.
For the last half year it has been at
least twenty minutes too fast aud as
the teachers and church sections seem
TO be regulated 10y that time the schools
and church meetings are as general
thing taken up much too early. We
would suggest that the party who has
the clock in charge be governed 10y rail
road time which may easily be gotten
from COburn every day and thus keep
in time with the rest Of the world.
-Recorder.elect J. +. Harter gave
the band boys warm reception on the
bCGuSIolI vi lltGil SNlNlitAhC w nun
Saturday evening. The band enjoyed
the ice cream very much and took it all
in coolly. Mr.. Harter had given a
special invitation 20 the organization of
which he is leader 10 celebrate the event
of his election at his residence. After
a fewtunes had been played he respond
ed with neat little speech in which he
returned his thanks 10 the band and
citizens of Millheim for their kind Sup
port at the recent election. The re-
moval of Shady To Bellefonte will rob
the Millheim band OF its best musician
and the borough will lose a useful and
respected citizen.
TREsPAssING ON PROPERTY Some
persons think that the sign boards for
bidding hunting, fishing, nut gathering
or trespassing upon private lands are
of little account and they may be re-
garded with impunity. This is a mis-
take, as the law makes it an act of tres.
pass to go upon any cultivated or en-
closed land for any purpose without
PERMISSION from the owner, even If |
there is no signboard, and the owner is |
entitled TO recover actual damage for |
such trespass. When the sign boards |
are properly erected, any person who
trespasses upon land so guarded is not |
only liable to pay the actual damages,
but also penalty not exceeding S25.
If, however, the land owner wishes TO |
avail himself of the provisions of the
law he must comply iwith the require
ments. There must be at least one
sign, not less than foot square to ev- |
cry fifty acres Of land, upon the lot |
lines, upon the shoresRor banks of the
lake, stream or pond which it is intend
ed to protect. Any person who defaces,
Injuries or destroys such sign board is
guilty of a misdemeanor and Ii able to
penalty of S25.
NEGLECTlNG DIsEAsE.-One reason
that cases terminate fatally that at first
were not believed to be serious is be-
cause patients neglect disease in its first
ard faint attack. They wait until the
enemy is well into the citadel, and then
they find 1t very difficult to dislodge
him. 1t is the height of folly to treat
illness as a matter of small Importance,
for we know not what may be developed.
A man who has family to support a
woman who has children and house
to care form fact, no one who thinks
life is worth living yields to sickness
until they find that it is going to get
the best of them. and then is the time
for a prompt, thorough and effective
medicine. With Simmons Liver Regu-
lator you can always relieve and never
